      i was in before, looked at them. i think they have 98, 149, 249 models, then i think its 10 or 20% off that. are they any good?

    Had a look this morning at the sale. It is absolute garbage, most items are still more expensive than what you can find online elsewhere. This isn't a fire sale, it is "let's see if we can still get a few last suckers in on inflated prices"

    • tolchok on 26/02/2016 - 15:04

      What I found surprising is that they're not price matching for stock in other bricks and mortar stores. I asked them to price match a keyboard at Melb CBD Dick Smith to prices from a couple of inner Melb suburb stores and was told they will only price match to other Melb CBD stores. When I started looking at prices for Melb CBD on my phone, I was told that they couldn't go below cost price anyway, which was a few dollars less than they had listed (and about $10 more than other stores).

    Not seeing a bargain here. And the 20% off TVs thing is almost an insult as they mostly stock their own branded merch - how does one get warranty on a DSE branded TV?

    • JepunK on 26/02/2016 - 15:31

      well, they could be considered as collectors items

      • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2016 - 17:49

        Problem is DSE branded stuff has always been junk. Back in the day almost everything at Tandy was an in-house brand but they were all quite good.

    Now remember that the savings aren't going to be massive day 1. As we get closer to the end the prices should go lower.

          @DarwinBoy:

          The staff have been doing that for years at DSE. Anyone remember their dvd/blu Ray sale a couple of years ago? I feel for them, but the managemtn allowing staff to horde sale items before the public can see them, was why a lot of people stopped shopping there.

    From past experience, the liquidation sales involve prices being put back to RRP with gradually higher %s off each week. Right now there will be few things worth nabbing. In a few weeks there will be barely any stock but you may get lucky and get something super cheap. The start of each week will be when the up the % so that's when you can find things worth buying.

    Although this signage doesn't look like the normal Hillco liquidation signs, so maybe they haven't kicked in yet.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2016 - 11:23
      +6

      They're temporary Hilco supplied signs, the wording and design are identical - I'd say the Hilco signs we are familiar with won't appear until some time next week (they probably have to be shipped in/printed up/removed from storage).

      No idea why any Ozbargainers were expecting more then this. Liquidations run in a very specific manner, and it's only at the end when there's nothing left that the % off gets to the 70%+ mark. The articles from the usual clickbaity pages (Gawker mostly) were using the terms fire sale but if you read their articles they didn't know anything at all about what was going on sale.

      I'm actually surprised Hilco are starting at 20-40%, normally they start at 10%-30% or even 5-20%. Probably reflective of the quantity of stock, especially private label that needs to be cleared.

      As much as you may not like the store and never purchased anything there all competition is good competition. This will just cause other places to rise their prices with little competition.
      Not to mention I enjoyed some of Dick Smiths deals and purchased a few things from there over the last few years.

      • Major Mess on 26/02/2016 - 13:07

        DSE made the decision years ago that they would be a slightly bodgey version of every other Electrical/Whitegoods chain. This is probably part of the reason for their decline into dodgy behaviour and failure. Point is the other stores are still there and DSE have never really been that much competition for them.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but this should be in the forums. Even if a product is on sale, is there enough stock to be classified as a bargain? As mentioned by many, this is just a % off sale which we're quite used to by now from the many thousand retailers out there…..

    • sheepdog on 26/02/2016 - 11:36

      I agree, its definitely not a bargain. Mediocre discounts on very limited stock, plenty of which either have no warranty (I'm assuming here on the DSE merch) or difficult warranties involving posting direct to manufacturers.
